The Clinical Counseling program prepares students to work in mental health settings such as: hospitals, substance abuse centers, mental health centers, university counseling centers, residential treatment centers, and private practice.<\/p>\n

The program will educate students in principles and practices of diagnosis, treatment, referral, and prevention. The students will develop skills in diagnosis and assessment, evidence-based counseling\/psychotherapy techniques, group processes, cultural diversity, development, crisis management, marriage and family counseling, addiction and career counseling.<\/p>\n
